Millions of European travelers who passed on vacations during the depth of the recession returned to the traveler pool in 2013.

My team created a new business model for Nest Labs using the business model canvas. We decided to introduce a new service to be integrated with Nest Protect and other Nest products. This service, called SafeNest, will operate as a safety and security system for a low subscription fee. To use SafeNest customers must have a Nest Protect. Hardware used to enhance the SafeNest service are sensors and a specialty Nest/Jawbone bracelet we invented called Nestlet.
The purpose of this service is to increase consumer investment in the Nest system. As the leader and pioneer of the "Internet of Things," our strategy is to grab as much Home Automation market share as possible, as quickly as possible before our Apple launches the HomeKit. This service will also steal market share from the Home Safety and Security market (ADT, LifeAlert).
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for a Nest Lab’s Smart Thermostat. This thermostat learns user behavior, uses motion sensors to detect human presence, and programs itself. We recommend that Nest sell directly to end users and work with HVAC, construction and building automation companies to have their thermostat installed in new buildings. Nest, which was recently acquired by Google, can profit from the sale of these devices and the sale of software apps that can add functionality to the product.
Gridley's Guide to Digital NY -- January 2012Linda Gridley
Gridley’s Guide to Digital New York is a unique and comprehensive report for investors, buyers and entrepreneurs looking for one place to quickly get up to speed on New York’s exciting, explosive digital ecosystem. In addition to this report, we have designed an “easy to use” website that lays out the information in this report (and more) in a fun, creative way. You can access this website from our firm’s home page, www.gridleyco.com, or at www.gridleydigitalny.com.
We decided to put together this report when we were out visiting companies and investors in May/June of 2011 and people starting asking us about all of the “digital momentum” in NY. There was a feeling that lots was going on, but people didn’t really understand just what “it” was and how extensive “it” was. Well, now we can tell you a few things about “it”:
Since 2006,
• There has been $8.4 billion of capital invested in Digital NY companies.
• While the total number of Digital NY private companies probably is well over 600, we have identified 374 to be included in this report. Companies in our report either have raised at least $5 million of outside capital or are prominent enough in the Digital NY scene to merit inclusion. The digital sectors we focused on are: Content, eCommerce, Marketing, Mobile, and Social.
• There are approximately 212 investors with a focused interest in Digital NY. This includes all stages – Seed, Early Stage, Growth, and Buyout – and includes local firms as well as firms with little or no physical presence in NY.
• There have been fifteen private companies that have raised over $100MM of capital (Fab.com, Fotolia, ZocDoc, Gilt Groupe, MongoDB, Appnexus, GrubHub Seamless, Foursquare, OnDeck Capital, Everyday Health, ideeli, Thing Daemon, Warby Parker, 1stdibs, Quirky) and 24 that have raised between $50MM and $100MM.
• There have been seventeen $100MM+ sale transactions of private Digital NY companies since January 2008 (Tumblr, Buddy Media, Mediamind, iCrossing, Admeld, Huffington Post, Webloyalty, About.com, Interclick, Hotjobs, Innovation Interactive, OMGPOP, Ziff Davis Media, Zagat, Behance Network, Register.com, and Answers.com).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

insights
what
is
expected
in
the
US
when

investors.
In

York
than
we
had
achieved
in
Finland
in
six
months!
You

if
you
want
to
play

The
